New growth? Crap, was suspecting that would be the case... they're well into flower now so I'll just have to look for a cessation of symptoms and go from there. Definitely doing some learning here. I didn't have this issue on my first grow but I wasn't running Mephisto or a high powered cob then either. I think the cob's are probably the biggest factor.
Double crap on the girls stopping eating! Well the monos are potent enough to veg girls up to six inches by themselves and I just flipped the cobs back on for their last half hour of light so hopefully I'll be ok.
I'm not sure how this rep stuff works but your helps been invaluable Ripper!
